Filming and Photography

A varied photoshoot location

The museum offers an attractive backdrop for filming and photography.
It is suitable for still product photography, fashion photography, filmed
interviews, or as a backdrop to videos. It has surroundings that could be the
set for dramatic scenes, and a traditional narrowboat cabin. The natural brick
walls are an attractive feature of the building, which has an industrial
atmosphere. A fine Victorian timber roof of exposed timber beams has barn-like
qualities. The exhibits provide a varied background to a scene intended to be
set in a museum.

A Setting with Character

The museum's exhibits are colourful and photogenic. They can be used
as a backdrop to interviews, presenters' explanations, and in connection with
programmes about transport, waterways, and industrial history. We have even
been used as a background for a financial advice programme! As an unusual and
colourful place to make programmes, the museum has a lot to offer.

Corporate Videos

Corporate videos cover a wide range of topics. Shooting an interview
or a scene in the museum may be appropriate to topics concerned with heritage,
transport heritage, London's history, economic history, or of course canals and
waterways.

Interviews

Interviewing a spokesman, commentator, celebrity or subject expert in
front of a camera requires a suitable background. The museum offers colourful
exhibits, the narrowboat cabin, brick walls, or a meeting room providing a
neutral background where this is preferred.

Product Photography

Taking still pictures of a product involves a careful choice of
location. Our locations include the colourful narrowboat Coronis, walled
surroundings, a stable stall, the steep horse ramp, and a range of industrial
and heritage decor.

Fashion

Boats and canals may represent the great outdoors without the
uncertainty of the weather in the real outdoors. The brick walls present a
neutral but attractive background location for fashion photography in a central
London location.
